Whether it’s hand-me-downs, old furniture you found on the edge of the curb in front of someone’s house or a vintage flea market find, the challenge is always finding a way to make your new acquisition feel like it was tailor-made for you.
Sometimes, all the furniture needs is a thorough dusting and/or cleaning.
This could be a quick fix or a lengthy process depending upon the age of the furniture and how it was maintained by its previous owner(s).
If the furniture is worn down to a point where cleaning is not enough, getting it up to par could require making structural adjustments, reupholstering or re-staining the furniture.
At times, the furniture could be in a suitable condition, but it is just missing the right complimentary pieces to make it fit your niche. This could include appliqués, accent pillows and more.
This will serve as an introduction to a number of articles covering a varying number of ways to make furniture that you stumble upon fit your style and home’s personality. Be sure to stay tuned for more.
